Fire Rated Sealant in Coolham
Our applicators work in Coolham on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

Fire rated sealant in Coolham, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. If you’re dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Coolham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Coolham
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like William Penn School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Coolham
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Mission Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
